2604-6. Driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside temperatures.
•Engine oil
• Engine coolant/power control unit cool-
ant
•Washer fluid
 Have a service technician inspect
the condition of the 12-volt battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with four
snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the front tires.
*
Ensure that all tires are the specified size
and brand, and that chains match the size
of the tires.
*: Tire chains cannot be mounted on vehi-
cles with 18-inch/19-inch tires.
Perform the following according to the
driving conditions:
 Do not try to forcibly open a window
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary prepara-
tions and inspection s before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive
the vehicle in a manner appropriate
to the prevailing weather condi-
tions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
QDriving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of
vehicle control and cause death or seri-
ous injury.
OUse tires of the specified size.
OMaintain the recommended level of air
pressure.
ODo not drive in excess of 75 mph (120
km/h), regardless of the type of snow
tires being used.
OUse snow tires on all, not just some
wheels.
QDriving with tire chains (vehicles with
17-inch tires)
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely, and may
cause death or serious injury.
ODo not drive in excess of the speed
limit specified for the tire chains being
used, or 30 mph (50 km/h), which-
ever is lower.
OAvoid driving on bumpy road surfaces
or over potholes.
OAvoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine
braking.
OSlow down sufficiently before entering
a curve to ensure that vehicle control
is maintained.
ODo not use LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
system.
NOTICE
QRepairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow
tires from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire
retailers.
This is because the removal and attach-
ment of snow tires affects the operation
of the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters.
Before driving the vehicle

3246-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
on the dipstick.
QChecking the engine oil
1 Park the vehicle on level ground.
After warming up the engine and turning
off the hybrid system, wait more than 5
minutes for the oil to drain back into the
bottom of the engine.
2Holding a rag under the end, pull
the dipstick out.
3 Wipe the dipstick clean.
4 Reinsert the dipstick fully.
5 Holding a rag under the end, pull
the dipstick out and check the oil
level.
Low
Normal
Excessive
The shape of the dipstick may differ
depending on the type of vehicle or
engine.
6Wipe the dipstick and reinsert it
fully.
QChecking the oil type and prepar-
ing the items needed
Make sure to check the oil type and
prepare the items needed before add-
ing oil.
 Engine oil selection
P.404
 Oil quantity (Low  Full)
1.6 qt. (1.5 L, 1.3 Imp.qt.)
 Item
Clean funnel
QAdding engine oil
If the oil level is below or near the low
level mark, add engine oil of the same
type as that already in the engine.
1 Remove the oil filler cap by turning
it counterclockwise.
2 Add engine oil slowly, checking the
dipstick.
3 Install the oil filler cap by turning it
clockwise.
QEngine oil consumption
A certain amount of engine oil will be con-
sumed while driving. In the following situa-
tions, oil consumption may increase, and
engine oil may need to be refilled in

QOil capacity (Drain and refill [Ref-
erence
*])
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing the
engine oil. Warm up the engine and turn
off the hybrid system, wait more than 5
minutes, and check the oil level on the
dipstick.
QEngine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in
your Lexus vehicle. Use Lexus
approved “Toyota Genuine Motor
Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the follow-
ing grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity:
SAE 0W-16
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice for
good fuel economy
and good starting
in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available, SAE
0W-20 oil may be used. However, it
must be replaced with SAE 0W-16 at
the next oil change.

Vehicle specifications
Outside temperature
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained here
as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows
cold startability. Oils with a lower
value before the W allow for easier
starting of the engine in cold
weather.
• The 16 in 0W-16 indicates the vis- cosity characteristic of the oil when the oil is at high temperature. An oil
with a higher viscosity (one with a
higher value) may be better suited if
the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load con-
ditions.
How to read oil container label:
API registered mark is added to some
oil containers to help you select the oil
you should use.
*: The fluid capacity is a reference quantity. If replacement is necessary, contact your Lexus dealer.

Capacity*Gasoline engine6.4 qt. (6.1 L, 5.4 Imp.qt.)
Power control unit1.9 qt. (1.8 L, 1.6 Imp.qt.)
Coolant type
Use either of the following:
 “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant”
 Similar high-quality ethylene glycol-
based non-silicate, non-amine, non-
nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-
life hybrid organic acid technology
Do not use plain water alone.
